- 1 cup water + 1/4 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp for brushing
- 1 tbsp brown sugar OR honey
Instructions
- Fill a measuring cup with 1/4 cup of warm water and add yeast. Cover with a plastic wrap and let stand for 3-5 minutes.

This dough can be used immediately but for best results shape the dough into a smooth ball, place it on a floured surface and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise at room temperature for about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk
